Me too.i still have D2 on a windows xp machine I have been playing over the years. I just started a new character a month ago when D2R was all hyped. Lol. Can't wait for Thursday
The portal near Aya will never disappear in Resurrected. In the old game, it will disappear if you got the waypoint and finished the quest. It will not disappear if you achieved just one of the two. The Andariel bug is working on Battlenet as well, not just in single player. When finding a gem shrine, the gem to be upgraded must be directly in the inventory. If it's in the cube, it will not be considered and a chipped gem will appear. Regarding Baal and his clone, it's the other way around. The clone has the D directly below the B, for Baal the D is a bit shifted to the right. I think that has been changed in Resurrected, both are the same there. There's another way to distinguish the two, however. Only Baal can teleport, the clone cannot.
Instead of dragging a potion and dropping it on merc picture, hold shift while pressing 1-4 on your potion belt bar to heal your merc. This might seem obvious but its not really apparent to new players. Properly gearing and keeping your merc alive is especially important for Cold Sorcs in Hell difficulty.
@@Dead_Hitori yep, you can either drag it to their picture, best way is holding shift while clicking one of the potion slots on your belt, 1-4. Get any fortitude, andys/gaze helm, and TombReaver/insight and merc will be pretty tanky. Not BoS but cheap and easy to get at first
Dude this is so much better than so many other videos I’ve seen out there. Watched a video that was talking about 5 good horadric cube recipes that was over 11 minutes long. For 5 recipes. Also adding sockets to chest and weapons were TWO separate recipes.
D2R updated tip: If you go into options you can select "toggle show item". No need for cube trick. This will up your pick-up speed and success rate in full runs when there is a frenzy before boss pops. May Seem like not a significant option but it is amazing
Ok the potions at the start. I’ve only ever taken antidote and thawing AFTER being poisoned or frozen. Good tip. I did not know you could pre-drink them.
keep in mind that drinking a potion will remove the poison or slow effect but drinking before only give you resist to cold or poison damage, doesn't remove the poison or slow effect
Larzuk adds max sockets to white items, and that "max" depends on the items ilvl. For instance, the max number of sockets for a white crystal sword found in normal cows would be 4.
Andy bug works on bnet ladder. You can check by picking up an item such as a rare or blue item and it may have extra durability (failed to roll unique or set).
Very nice video. I’d like to add a couple things since D2R is now out. The W trick for providing stun lock no longer works. And you can get the waypoint in Nilathaks place; the red portal will now remain open
Great video. Larzuk quest will always add maximum sockets based on item level. E.g.: You will get 2 sockets for crystal sword dropped on Act 3 normal(Ilvl 1-25), 4 sockets for crystal sword dropped on Cow level normal(Ilvl 26-40) and 6 sockets for crystal sword dropped on any Act hell(Ilvl 41+)
@@iriswaldenburger2315 Yeah, I hope it too. I am a bit dissapointed about the quality of life improvements present on beta. But well..., I love this game and I am going to play it likea crackhead
nice tricks. you should add though the "unlimited respec" to the list. Open settings for D2R in the battlenet app put in the command line : -enablerespec (like you would add in good old DOS mode) when in-game press "C" to open specs. Hold ALT and left-mouse-click on any of the stats (STR-DEX) and it will say the boom level up sound. Now you can respec for free again and again and again. Only works in offline mode though !!!!
Play my entire life but never notice that the gem shrine was in fact upgrading one in the inventory. Also i dint know about the alt cube glitch. Thanks so much. You can play over 100 000 hours in this game and not know everything... that just crazy. So good game.
Another tip video I saw compounded on this. If you want to overstock on potions, buy a full belt of potions, unequip, then immediately re-equip belt, dropping all but 1 row of pots into inventory, then shift click again to quickly buy another three rows of potions! :)
I remember rocking this game before LoD even existed. No charms, jewels, runes, assassin, druid, and all the other misc stuff that made this game what it is today. So far, my biggest and most aggravating concern with the PS4 version, is that even in the last 20 years, Sony still has not added a "Shift" button to the controller lol
Most pc games don't work on console for something similar to that reason... if you have to change the setup from mouse and keyboard controls, you lose things along the way. Like stick vs automatic.
1:36 Comment was deleted so I'll try again... This is not true. White items get sockets from Larzuk based on item level. Check to see what the item level is based on where the item was dropped and you can find out how many sockets you will get
I been playing long time, and can tell you that you are right about lost things aside from lower kuralt, there are always 4 super chest spread around the entire area inside the huts not just because of the bonfire, but that being said the bonfire is a great indicator that you will be next to some chests
I don't know if anyone already said this but the baal clone trick is the other way arround. The real Baal is the one with the 'demon' word slightly aligned to the right side of the B in 'Baal'
@@OldSchoolGameSnob In case Im wrong, please feel free to eliminate my comment. but 99% sure Im correct. please double check it to make sure of course :)) btw, awesome videos. really helpfull for the new players :)
Have been playing this game for about 20 years and never thought of using quest items for leveling. Now I have to try out some Trist runs with Khalim's Will to see how it performs.
Regarding your tip at around 0:50 for ALT key to show items, in d2r there is option in settings to choose behaviour of the alt key (toggle or hold etc).
around 5:13 you are talking about the andariel bug, you said it only works in single player. actually it does work in battle net as well, i've done it myself.
@@skiloz0r I checked reddit and d2 forum, here they say that it works as well in Bnet, but d2r devs were discussing to nerf questdrop in general so the bug wont be noticable anymore…rumors well see in a week
It works on bnet ladder. You can check by picking up an item such as a rare or blue item and it may have extra durability (failed to roll unique or set).
leaf (tir + ral) is another good runeword for both sorcs and elemental druids at level 19 both akara and drognan sells 2 socketed normal staves and both runes are easy to get
I tried to make Stealth twice but neither attempt worked. I looked up on google that there is an order you need to place them in to make it work. I did Tal and then Eth and neither attempt produced this Stealth item. Are there other variables that contribute to a successful outcome for this item? The item I received only gives 15% mana regen and 30% poison resist.
D2R lets you change the functionality of alt to toggle in settings. Also - you won't close the red portal if you get the halls wp (d2r change from original game). WSG glitch was fixed in D2R. You can not bug Andy in D2R either.
Correct me if I'm wrong but i thought gem shrines upgraded gems in the order of your inventory. From first to last slot so if you had multiple the one farthest bottom right would be upgraded?
Diablo two resurrected On Xbox the halls of Payne waypoint you can activate and that portal doesn’t disappear I still have it up and I’ve been doing runs for a week now and Completed on normal. No one explains to people about magic finding with your mercenary, hypothetically if you have 200% magic fine on your character and your mercenary has 100% magic finding on their armor if you kill a person you only get that 200% magic finding if you’re mercenary kills a character it adds up to 300% magic finding And then why you should allow your mercenary to kill all bosses.
When playing HC paladin it is extremely important to not to always have a run ON while relying on high defence and Max block. Running out of Bad situations is a deathwish.. 🤪
20+ years later and did not know walking had something to do with your defense rating besides recovering stamina. I was always so fixated on running all the time with my melee characters. Now that habit is about to change👍🏽.
Been playing off and on for 20 years and I actually learned a couple things from this. Great video with no time wasting.
Me too.i still have D2 on a windows xp machine I have been playing over the years. I just started a new character a month ago when D2R was all hyped. Lol. Can't wait for Thursday
Me too. I had no idea about the gem shrine one
same :)
I've been also playing this game on and off for 20 years but half of these were new to me D: I feel kind of ashamed :I
Agreed
Pindal portal will stay up in D2R even after you get the WP.
correct
Sweet, thanks for the tip 😁
Seriously I left it out for this exact reason, though not because of this video
But does it still close after your return the Nith quest?
@@irrelevanthero7410 no

Pindle skin portal and waypoint, stack potion effects, run walk defense ...these and more are all new to me. Great tips and content!
They're also kinda wrong unfortunately. The Pindleskin portal stays open in D2R and you only lose shield block chance while running, not all defense.
Good video. D2R has an option for always showing loot in the settings too (instead of holding alt), so they actually put that into the game.
Instead of dragging a potion and dropping it on merc picture, hold shift while pressing 1-4 on your potion belt bar to heal your merc. This might seem obvious but its not really apparent to new players. Properly gearing and keeping your merc alive is especially important for Cold Sorcs in Hell difficulty.

FYI: you can make alt key a "show items" toggle instead of hold to show in the settings in D2R
Wow, thank you for the info. I didn't know gem shrines upgraded your gems and I have been playing for 15 years on and off :o *Claps*
Me either! Also didn't know about thaw and antidotes resistance stacking
7:40 The gem it chooses is NOT random. It selects the oldest gem in your inventory iirc.
Oldest meaning the one that was put in there first. If you take out a gem and put it back in it moves to the back of the line.
Regardless im going to not cube my gems ever again. Run around stony for a gem shrine then reset and repeat.
alternatively for baal you can just tp out and his clone despawns
Odd, didn't for me in nightmare before d2r dropped.
Ill try this but I feel like this wont work
Andy bug works on bnet ladder. You can check by picking up an item such as a rare or blue item and it may have extra durability (failed to roll unique or set).
you can tell if you did it correctly because she won't drop any gold every time you kill her, if she drops gold you bricked it
